Different degrees or parts of the body expel cold qi, which can create different symptoms. Therefore, the symptoms and causes of cold can be broadly classified into three main categories regarding the discharge of cold from the meridians behind the body, the discharge of cold from the meridians in front of the body, and the discharge of cold from the lungs. Back bladder meridian The meridian behind the body is mainly the bladder meridian, and because the back area where the bladder meridian is located is large and in the part of the body most susceptible to cold, many people have a large amount of cold in this area. Soreness or pain throughout the shoulders and back occurs when the cold qi is expelled from the bladder meridian. Since the bladder meridian runs through the entire head, there will be a swollen headache or migraine in the back of the head area, a vague pain in the Yin Tang area near the eyebrows, and a strong pain when massaging the Feng Chi point behind the ear. There will also be symptoms of discomfort in the throat or coughing, which are all symptoms when cold Qi is expelled from the bladder meridian. This feeling is also often experienced during summer heat stroke, and both cases are symptoms of blockage of the bladder meridian behind the back. The easiest way to deal with uncomfortable symptoms when expelling cold qi from the bladder meridian is to sha sha. Since the back is where the main acupuncture points of the bladder meridian are located, almost the entire left and right side of the back are the parts where the bladder meridian is distributed. So, just scrape the back of your neck, back and forehead to clear the meridians and take a nap after scraping, probably the uncomfortable feeling will be gone. In addition, when the headache first appears, you can drink more water, and then go out in the sun, the so-called sun, in winter can be direct, in summer, as long as the light under the shade of a tree can be stronger, usually half an hour after the symptoms are naturally eliminated. In addition, drink a cup of cinnamon and dates tea, and then a good night’s sleep, can also be part of the symptoms eliminated. The most typical symptoms when cold Qi is discharged from the front meridians of the body are nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and sometimes watery diarrhea. These symptoms are the same as when the cold qi is discharged from the lungs, and the way to tell the difference is to touch your forehead and the tip of your nose with your hands and compare them to the temperature of the rest of your face. If the temperature of the forehead is lower, then these symptoms are the discharge of cold qi from the meridians in the front of the body, and if the temperature of the tip of the nose is lower, then it is the discharge of cold qi from the lungs. The elimination of cold qi from the meridians does not cause coughs or fevers, while the elimination of cold qi from the lungs can easily cause coughs and fevers. The meridians in front of the body where cold Qi is expelled are mainly the stomach meridian and the large intestine meridian. Therefore, when the cold Qi is expelled, the stomach and intestines will also experience discomfort. The most common symptom is flatulence, and sometimes there is a constant urge to eat snacks, but the stool does not flow smoothly until the cold is almost gone when the stool is smooth. The best strategy at this time is to rest and let the body concentrate its energy to expel the cold Qi. You can drink some cinnamon and red dates tea to boost the body’s energy and help the body to eliminate the cold Qi. A colder temperature at the tip of the nose is the most obvious symptom of cold coming out of the lungs. Usually this low temperature will appear earlier than the various sensory symptoms. The whites of some people’s eyes may also appear light blue at this time, especially in children, who are most likely to have this condition. When a mother sees the whites of her child’s eyes turn blue, she should feel the tip of her nose, and if it also becomes cold, then she must be prepared for her child to catch a cold. You can prepare fever-reducing medicine at home and use it when the body temperature rises above 38.5 degrees to prevent the body from getting hurt. When the symptoms of hypothermia at the tip of the nose or the whites of the eyes turning blue appear for a day or two, the symptoms of a cold will start to appear. If the preliminary hypothermia lasts for a long time (three days to a week) and then symptoms appear, the cold must be serious this time and it is likely that the fever will persist for a long time. It seems that the body has been brewing for a long time to drive out the cold, so it is particularly serious. Usually, the stronger the person’s body is, the stronger the cold is driven out, and the more severe the cold is. The breath that comes out of a cough with cold in the lungs is always cold. This cough should be regarded as a deep breathing and is not a disease. It is a normal function of the body, used as a means to expel the cold energy that is deep in the lungs. Which symptoms are correctly distinguished from those caused by disease? It is very important to know which symptoms are caused by a normal function of the body. When it is determined that coughing is a normal function of the body and the purpose is to expel cold from the lungs, there is no need to rush to end it with medicine, but rather to seek ways to enhance the body’s ability to expel the cold and get it out of the body completely. Traditional Chinese folklore uses ginger soup to enhance the body’s heat, or rest, which is advocated by both Chinese and Western medicine, are good ways to increase the body’s energy to speed up the elimination of cold. These correct methods sometimes do not make the symptoms weaken, and even often make them worse. Because the body’s ability to increase, but there will be greater efforts to eliminate the cold, the body needs to expel more waste, of course, more uncomfortable. This situation will appear temporarily more serious symptoms, but the whole time of being sick will be shortened and the cold Qi is really expelled.
